Griffin is in the running for seven awards with McPherson’s and Hannaprint are both up for five. The awards are set to be held at Sydney’s Harbour’s Edge Events Centre on August 6, with more than 200 industry representatives expected to attend.

Commenting on the awards, Michael Schulz, Galley Club president says, “We have had some high quality entries from a whole cross-section of Australian book and magazine publications. This year we have more digital entries than any of the previous years, while traditional publishing is always strong it will be good to see them alongside some quality digital work.”

Entries are judged on the function and quality of their design, production, pre-press, printing and binding in accordance with established industry guidelines. Awards are presented for each winning publication.
